Nice looking truck,
But I would be lerry on buying a truck that been used for plowing,because
you dont know what type of abuse its been in. I have a friend who bought a truck that had been used for plowin,guess what, the tranny took a dump about 2 months later.
Trust me hes was Car dealers are really good at hiding defects,so be careful.
But anyways,I hope it works out for you.

Defintly A meyer plow mount, also I see the truck already has a Edge Fueling box on it....Instead of worring so much abount the tranny. My first worry would be the Injection pump and lift pump. I see you have gauges. Is a fuel pressure gauge in there? That fueling box gets tapped into the injection pump, and if you have that box cranked up, you may starve the pump..pump pressure should always be about/ atlest 16 psi at 1800 rpm. New I P's go for 3000+! BEST OF LUCK WITH THE TRUCK AND REMEMBER CHECK OUT TDR1.COM

If you are going to hang a larger plow on it I would advise you to replace the front springs! I have the same truck with a 8'6" V Plow and after one season it leaned toward the front VERY bad because the dealer told me the sport suspension was not actually heavy enough for the plow and the diesel engine! I bought springs rated for 500 pounds more to raise the suspension rating 1000 pounds to hold the plow!
But overall you should love it the CTD for plowing is great!

there is a sensor on the fuel rail but there is no gauge connected to it i was planning on getting a fuel pressure gauge anyway cuz its so important in a turbo app

i am almost sure it already got higher spring rate up front since the rear have add a leaf already

what about an electric pump that is mounted on the frame rail under the trauck next to the fual tank and loops fuel lines in and out of it ?

You can buy a truck without a plow and find out the guy was pulling around a 40,000lb trailer. Either way it is a crap shoot.

also was wondering if anyone knows what is this ? this wires run to the manifold through a connector on the inner fender ( second picture ) then it goes to the battery i have no clue if its a positive or negative terminal tho it was off when i bought the truck
